Sitting here alone, knowing even though I try there nowhere to call home,
so much anger so much pain the one giving it out has nothing to gain
crying inside heart is aching so much
then they turn it on you like you have no trust
trying to hold in the tears when your family come to see you
but it makes it worse and they threatened to kill you
wake up every morning with your heart in your chest
beg your children to be quiet no speak just rest
if being quite not realizing the best helps our life
just do it be quiet not start or fight
